Warning: you will get texted so use your disposal number.

With all the news about citizens discovering their voter status has been lapsed, and new rules for being a voter, everyone should check.

But also, sometimes you forget. I have new neighbors who finished moving a month ago, and when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren’t.

      Yes. If you are a convicted felony, you lose your right to vote until you get out and request to get the right back from the state. Each state has their own rules. Some are automatic and some are a pain in the ass.

      Some states also have been known to purge voters from their database sometime before an election. They claim it’s either an error or just getting rid of old records of deceased voters. No one believes them though.

      Yep and the person with the most votes isn’t the winner either! It’s super fun and cool living in a non-democracy.
